It also has a brush spiral spring that allows for a 30% larger brush and increased airflow compared to the previous mode, as well as an aluminum gear housing that provides superior gear alignment and smoother transmission for increased durability.

Convenience features include a three-position side handle for increased comfort, a large spindle lock button for easier wheel changes while wearing gloves, and a rubberized back handle for increased operator comfort. It also features labyrinth construction, which prevents debris from penetrating the motor, bearings, and gears for longer tool life as well zig-zag epoxy on both sides of the armature coil and a powder-coated field for added protection from dust and debris for longer motor life.
